How do you go about buying an old navy ship?
Obviously, this is a hypothetical, but i had a brilliant idea that requires an lst (landing ship, tank) which is basically a giant ww2 ship used for dumping tanks on the shore. how would you go about procuring one? legally, of course.

when a ship is decommisioned one of th' outlets for selling off th' equipment is St Juliens Creek , That includes th' vessel itself !
I dont know what you can afford , but th' value of th' steel in th' hull alone can run into millions of dollars !

oh yeah, definitely out of my price range, but i like to flesh out hypotheticals with my friends, and this one was a fun idea, with the LST being the big breaking point, but it's fun to dream!
